a private sanctuary
Hidden away in plain sight, Ye Little Wood is one of the most prized communities in Coconut Grove.
Enter the gates into this enclave of only 33 residences and the undeniable charm begins to unfold through the canopies of oaks and lush banyans. Striking modern estates sit harmoniously adjacent to Old Floridian historic cottages that date to the earliest days of the Grove.
This is, of course, Ye Little Wood.
In the heart of the grove
The small town magic of Coconut Grove is loved by many because it is secluded by choice, but truly in the immediate center of Miami. The Grove’s advantageous location puts residents a quick drive to Coral Gables or Brickell, the Airport or Miami Beach. And yet, residents are walking distance to the most respected schools and academies in Miami and of course, the village center with Michelin Starred restaurants and bistros.
Just outside the gates—
About coconut grove
Founded in 1873, Coconut Grove is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Miami.
